Abstract

The potential of agriculture for climate change mitigation derives from both increasing its capacity to sequestrate greenhouse gases and reducing the emissions by improving the technologies used for tillage and for livestock grazing. Transforming this potential in mitigation agent for climate change should take in account the fact that agricultural land provides food for the seven billion inhabitants of the Earth, raw materials for a variety of products used by humans, income source for billions of people and represents the foundation of sustainable development in many regions. Meanwhile, agriculture is the main economic activity for many communities, especially in developing countries
